Careers & Employment - August 2007

I also have a Paralegal certificate, I have found temp works in paralegal, nothing perm. I relocated to Georgia in Feb. of 2006, same thing. My resume was done by a professional, still no solid job. Finally, I got a temp job which lasted for 7 months. Meanwhile, I have a home to pay. No job not even at Walmart. Where do I go from here?
p.s. I forgot to say that I was trained as a patient care tech, where do I go with that? I have a RE License in GA, real estate market extremely slow everywhere. Any advice will do.
If any of you can give me some leads I'll be forever grateful.

Thanks.
GJ

When you don't have the degree for a job, your not qualified, but when you do get the degree, it's still not enough.

I have been at my current position, an assistant in a fashion company since the end of the April. Up until april I have been on the roller coaster of unemployment since last spring.

However, I have no fashion experience up to this point and as I go along, as much as I am learning, I am finding it more difficult. I feel that I have tried and just realized that maybe I cannot do this job anymore. I dont want to give up, but I dont know how much more I can take.

I have started to send out resumes and my question is, when asked about what I have been doing, should I say I was temping or should I list this current position on my resume and explain that I feel that it is just not the right job for me?

I am well aware of the fact that if I fudge the truth and hired somewhere else and the truth is found out, I may go back to being unemployed, which I dont want to do.

Thank you.

2)trade my car with a Honda
3)take off the Mazda emblems and replace them with Hondas
4) any other suggestion?

Ok, so I was wondering if any of you are secret shoppers? You get paid by companies to shop in their stores, and then write up a very detailed report about how it was. Is this a good job to have for a while, while you get your career going? Does it pay good, or do you need to get another job as well?

I took my daughter to a modeling thing. I really wanted her to do it. It was in Michigan. It's called Highlite. They told us we dont have to pay anything. She did an interview and the next day they called her and said she got the job. They told us we had to come in and have her pictures taken. We got all that done, and then they asked us to pay 300 dollars up front. We waited a year, and bull she didnt even get a job. They didnt call her back. How do I get my money back?
Please Help

I worked for a University in admissions for 3 yrs and been on several teams and I was very successful on all. The last team I was on was working under someone that was dating a co-worker on the same team and she was not doing her job under SOP. That caused a conflict of interest with me and my student. She tried to stop his enrollment because he responded mean but I asked my boss (her boyfriend) to interviene. He said it is out of his hands. The student went over her head to upper management and now is a student. I somehow got a final written warning for this. I never had one before with this company. Within a weeks time after that a tech created a hostile situation for me but I walked away from it. He went to that same boss and reported I cursed and confronted him. The boss biasly believed him and did not come to me. I had to go to HR myself with witnesses that cleared me. On the same day I was cleared, I was fired for a comedy email I sent to my friends that was sent to me. Help!

I'm looking for fields I might want to work in so I have a general idea. My skills include, aside from being able to read and write well, typing fast, comprehension, patient and a perfectionist. I am also very verbal, like philosophy, logic, reasoning, am good at solving problems and know my way around several MAC and Windows computer programs, including PP, Word, Publisher, Photoshop even Lotus.

I just have a few demands:

1. Well paid: Eventually...
2. Fast-paced: I have too much energy to sit a desk all day.
3. Unpredictable schedule: I don't really mind long hours, I just wouldn't really want to work a job that's 9-5 every day. It would bore me to no end.
4. Mentally challenging: This one shouldn't be too hard I guess.
5. Social: Pretty self explanatory
6. As little math as possible: I'm really not good with numbers. If it requires anything beyond + - x / % I'm not doing it.

So, anybody have some suggestions? I would appreciate them.

Do companies really go over all those sent in resumes? I've been trying to help a friend look for work using most of the job searching sites. He's a designer and an awesome one at that! So why is it so hard for any follow ups or even responses from these companies? A "Thank you for sending in your resume." would even be nice.

Yet, they like to put on an act like they are real team players but yet, are the typical snakes in the grass. SHe trys to do everythign by the book, logs all teh goings on, keeps track of things and makes sure there are no deviations in protocol. SHe trys to keep her nose out of their business and there have been times where they have made some decisions that violated a privacy issue and she had informed the brass. Anyways....
